Where's the AMD coming from?  They didn't mine the National Forest, did they?

I don't know.  Actually now that I think of it I'm not even positive if it's AMD or not.  I know Salmon does have acidity problems of some sort though, along with Bluejay, The Branch, and Coon.  Could be natural, I don't know, but I doubt it.

could be from tannnins. Chemicals in the pine needles that blanket the ground in the ANF.

those same pine trees make the smell of the ANF intoxicating.

I noticed reddish orange color in Maple Creek during trout season as well off of Coon Rd. Don't remember it ever being like that there. Seems like something is going on.

The reddish orange coloring is probably AMD related, natural or unatural, and probably not from tannins.  Although there are a bunch of streams in the ANF that do have that tanic look to them, and they are from tannins, but they're also pretty good healthy, wild trout streams.
